I just wanted to make the point that I am keeping track of who predicts what right now, and when the dust settles I may well post a list of who had the insight and whose credibility is shot.

And I'm staying out of this guessing game myself ... hehehe ...

Flash 92.1, modified format. That's my guess.

My only guess is that First moves Flash to 92.1 for one reason and one reason only - to move it out of the way of the Infinity steamroller that will become JACK FM on the station currently known as "Howard 93.7".

Whether the steamroller happens now or later is open to question. Infinity could mirror what it does in Buffalo, running Howard Stern (until his last over-air show) in morning drive and do "JACK" the rest of the day.

I don't put a lot of credibility in that prediction, by the way, it's just a hunch. No inside information's attached to it.

I agree, Flash will move to 92.1 (as short lived as that will be)...

Interesting... I think you may have something OA. Infinity has been getting on that bus lately. It's a possibility that they'll switch Howard to Bob, Jack or whatever name is cool that week.

I don't know about the rest of you but I was completely taken by shock with the 103.9 / 94.3 swap.

Just when you think Sacto radio slows down, it speeds back up again. The inevitable is this... First Broadcasting will be moving out of town soon. The imminent death of Flash or Bob is foreclosing.

Hell.. whichever format 92.1 becomes, the only thing it will be good for is for people right around it's tower and people listening on the net. The signal is toilet, so whatever format stays won't win anyway. I actually think making way for the commercial God-Channel @ 103.9 is more of an insult than the Mexican bunch. At least the Mexicans stand to have some listenership. Salem's programming isn't worth the powder to blow them to that place they keep talking poorly about. :)

I listened a little bit online last night, and I heard a dual legal ID... Is the "station" simulcasting on 103.9 and 92.1?<P ID="signature">______________

Well, your two cents may leave you on the bad side of Mr. KMR. Uh oH! Do you want that? Your moniker explains your post.
If you read anything other than this board, you'd know that the audience for both formats are very loyal.
Wait it out...We may see something new in the near future.
 
103.9

I'm not in the market, but it's my understanding that 103.9 went to "The Fish" (simulcast of KKFS/105.5 Dunnigan) sometime Thursday, after stunting with the song "Mexican Radio".

(And of course, the expected change to a Spanish-language format, which the song would presumably point to, never happened!)

I find Salem's programming to be sub-standard. The fact is that non-com GOD-channel EMF/K-Love puts out a much better product. I don't know if there is one there, and quite frankly I don't care. I base my views on how I see it, and not necessarly on just your market. It is true the Christian folks and the Mexican listership are loyal. Salem, I feel actually is a poor operator, but since they are so big they get away with it. God-Channel or just a normal format, they aren't that good.

I speak my mind. Isn't that what this board is about anyway?

Are you saying they don't have a prayer? Ahem.

Hispanics are very loyal listeners and customers. I worked in a small market that was 70% hispanic. We were AM on since the 40's. A new FM popped into town. We still got top billing and listenership. Hispanics don't jump ship when the next new thing comes around. If they listen or shop at a place for 25 years...their attitude is why change?
